The Promise Ring – My Firetower Flame Lyrics 20 years ago
All the earth and air
With thy voice is loud,
As, when night is bare,
From one lonely cloud
The moon rains out her beams, and heaven is overflowed.

Ani DiFranco – Dilate Lyrics 20 years ago
I never understood this stanza until now-
"i learn every room long enough
to make it to the door
and then i hear it click shut behind me
and every key works differently
and i forget every time
and the forgetting defines me
that's what defines me"

it's about thinking things will be different and ignoring past experiences to hope things will be different, but they aren't. forgetting is her way of making the same mistake over and over again.

i have had this cd for a while and it's gotten me through a few breakups, but by far- this breakup has helped me understand this stanza the most.

this song is so fucking beautiful.

Ani DiFranco – Seeing Eye Dog Lyrics 20 years ago
first we touched fingers and then we touched toes
then my army surrendered
my government overthrown
i threw myself a little role reversal and followed you home
just dying to be chewed
the dog was chosen by the bone


great great verse. ani is a lyrical genius and it's good to see she can still pump out some wonderful tunes.

The Promise Ring – B Is for Bethlehem Lyrics 21 years ago
i think this song is about wanting to stop time. "To know now my only veins are your hands across my back where you're resting." the idea of something being motionless, but still there and very much alive in them.."I'm dying to try to stop the wind" "Jesus was a fisherman, fishing men from the devil hands, so the devil was made red to live a damned life." I think the person/thing that's gone in their life is what kept this person in check so to speak. "And the red in your face is touchable to the blues and the Muscles in a memory. Where I have lost my voice and I smell like paste again where we'll be resting, when we rest." Being voiceless and unable to move suggests death (smelling of paste). "My bends bend my anchor to pull people out of the bible to stand in the rain and be where b is for Bethlehem." I think this is about the taking away of the person/thing in your life that kept you stable (anchored you) and he's looking to the bible to see where "b is for bethlehem" and jesus is all that's left to help him because this person/thing is gone.

I could be wrong though. haha
